A while back I post a review on Tim Mulligan's graphic novel Witchland - well this graphic novel Snitchland is the sequel.
People who worked at the Hanford site are considered to be a special population as Hanford produced nearly two-thirds of the plutonium used in the US nuclear weapons stockpile.
The introduction to Snitchland spoke to me. Chapter One opens with an image of a vast graveyard, and the plot begins at a church in Richland, Washington. Jared and his daughter Ali are paying respects to Van for the meaningful role Van played in each of their lives.
This well-illustrated graphic novel depicts how we may grieve the loss of a loved one and introduces readers to chronic beryllium disease which occurs by inhalation of beryllium fumes or dust and can be absorbed when skin is exposed.
At the funeral, we see Van's family feel his presence and he is begging them to leave town. And Jared is enraged when he learns an employee complained about the cause of the accident.
This novel is an excellent reminder that if we don't look after our environment we may harm our own well-being.
I received this graphic novel from author and playwright Tim Mulligan.
